No
Automotive Expert
ok, and when you went to autozone what fault codes did they find when they put their code reader on it?

I don't have that paper right now but it said. number 1 plug or coil pack I changed them both
Automotive Expert
was it P0301?

1 was
Automotive Expert
there were more? I need to know what they were

I don't knowI think it was 101
Automotive Expert
ok, then you need to go back. I'm not going to guess. that doesn't fix anything. if it was p0101 then thats the mass airflow sensor

Who is this
Automotive Expert
I was helping with your car

Oh hi .I had the converter s checked their all good he said it might be a bent valve
Automotive Expert
ok, did he do a compression test to verify that?

I don't know. I think he just checked the converters
Automotive Expert
ok, then there should be no reason for him to say it might be a bent valve unless he did a compression test.

Okay.I have an appointment Monday at the dealership to have the car annalise
Automotive Expert
ok but be leery of the dealership. let me know what they say before agreeing to anything

Okay, will doI'm not letting them work on anything I just want them to put it on the machine
Automotive Expert
